In other words, it is to control kerbside parking by charging by the length of time for which parking takes place.
The idea that private operators will construct bus stations seems to me pretty unlikely: the kerbside is an awful lot cheaper.
How is that complicated, heavy machinery random tested along the kerbside?
At present, 11 million households are covered by local authority controlled kerbside programmes that collect domestic waste, but only 100,000 tonnes of packaging is collected.
No figures are available that show the number of separate household or kerbside collection schemes which collect plastics.
I therefore urge local authorities to put in place arrangements for the kerbside collection of products, such as batteries, that should not go into landfill.
Providing kerbside collection across the country will cost a great deal of money.
A health warning to attach to that might be that not all kerbside collections are as good the next.
